Battle

 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12

I chose this word today because I was really having a drawn out battle with my son today when it was time to go to the gym. Although this sadly ended in me not going to the gym, I have learned that even though I didn't make it to where I wanted to go, I still did something to get me closer to my goal. I picked up my grandmothers 6lb medicine ball and did some exercises while my son was throwing a temper tantrum and he ended up falling asleep at 7:30pm.

Sometimes life happens and you battle it out whether you should go or not. This was a decision that I had no problem making because imagine taking him to 24 and he threw a fit and they had to come get me, that would not be pretty. I had to do what was best for him and he obviously was acting out because he was exhausted more than usual today.

By the way, we didn't sit at the house all day. We went to Sky Zone today where Noah and his cousin jumped for almost an hour. Then after his nap we had to grocery shopping and when we got home from that, he had a snack and played outside for 30-40 minutes until dinner and then had his crazy melt down. Sometimes, your kids come first, but that doesn't mean you give up on what you want either. Just adjust to the occasion.
